Yu Li Jing's arrival meant that, according to etiquette, Xun Wu You should pay a visit.
The position of "Master of Affairs" is essentially the chief executive officer of the Hao Zheng Five Paths, overseeing all branches of the Confucian School, a position of great power and influence.
Fortunately, Yu Li Jing was a good person, a gentleman like jade, cultured and refined, courteous and polite, his words as refreshing as a spring breeze.
Such a person was truly a model of Confucian conduct.
His cultivation was likely between the 8th and 9th ranks of the Innate Realm, just a step or two away from the pinnacle of the Innate Realm.
Yet, these two steps were a chasm, countless Innate masters throughout history had spent their entire lives without reaching the pinnacle of the Innate Realm.
However, for some, that step was easy to take, such as Sui Wu Duan and Jian Zhi Chi in their later years.
Xun Wu You didn't need to go out to greet him, Dong Men Xuan De had already sent someone to invite him, and there were a few people who could be found alive if you asked about their deeds.
Upon reaching the main hall, he heard Yu Li Jing and Dong Men Xuan De talking freely.
Xun Wu You carefully observed Yu Li Jing, his Confucian robes were primarily purple and white, his features delicate and his bearing noble, truly a rare individual, no wonder he was favored by Jun Feng Tian, the Law Confucian.
"Xun Shao Xia has arrived!"
Dong Men Xuan De rose with a smile, "Yu Master, this is the brilliant young man from your sect that I was telling you about."
Yu Li Jing was also observing Xun Wu You, he smiled slightly, "A disciple of the Emperor Confucian, naturally extraordinary. Xun Wu You, long time no see!"
Dong Men Xuan De was surprised, he said in astonishment, "Emperor Confucian? Xun Shao Xia is actually a direct disciple of Senior Lin Tian Xing?"
The Emperor Confucian, Lin Tian Xing, was a legend and myth in the Central Plains.
Xuan Zun, Zun Fo, Dao Huang, Huang Ru!
The four creators of the Paths, three had fallen, leaving only the Emperor Confucian, Lin Tian Xing.
Unparalleled, the undisputed number one in the world, even the three supreme Paths were inferior to him.
The world only knew of Lin Tian Xing's legend, but no one had ever seen the true face of this super-powerful Innate, even the higher echelons of the Confucian School rarely had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of his brilliance.
It seems we need to re-evaluate Xun Shao Xia. Dong Men Xuan De rubbed his hands together. He had previously regarded Xun Wu You as a hot-blooded youth, but since he was a direct disciple of Lin Tian Xing, his strength couldn't be wrong.
Xun Wu You smiled modestly.
Since his arrival, the thing he was most proud of was having such a formidable master. This identity was practically equivalent to being the Crown Prince of the Confucian School.
"Li Jing knows me?"
Xun Wu You smiled.
The previous Xun Wu You had been diligently cultivating in the Hao Zheng Supreme Hall for nearly twenty years, Yu Li Jing shouldn't know that the Emperor Confucian had such a disciple.
"The Law Confucian often mentioned you, saying that you are a rare prodigy in the Confucian School, one in a thousand years!"
When Yu Li Jing spoke of the Law Confucian, his eyes held a sense of longing and respect.
The first guardian of the Hao Zheng Five Paths, the son of the nine-day Xuan Zun, the creator of the four Paths, and the young master of the Yun Hai Xian Men, he joined the Confucian School for certain reasons.
Yu Li Jing was Jun Feng Tian's adopted son, so this sense of longing and respect was perfectly natural.
The Xian Mo Ao Feng series depicted Jun Feng Tian as extremely powerful, netizens jokingly referred to him as "Law Confucian Daddy," the king of physical damage!
Xun Wu You modestly replied, "The Law Confucian is wrong, how could I be a rare prodigy in a thousand years? I am clearly a prodigy for all eternity!"
Whether it was truly humility is up for debate, Yu Li Jing and Dong Men Xuan De were stunned for a long time.
Yu Li Jing finally recovered, he opened his mouth but didn't know how to respond.
"You're not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue off? If you're really that strong, go handle Ni Shen Yang yourself."
Hu Die Jun's voice echoed in the hall.
He and Jian Sui Feng stood on either side of the door, looking at Xun Wu You with amusement.
Jian Sui Feng loved a good show, he couldn't resist dragging Hu Die Jun out for a walk, and they heard Xun Wu You's shameless words from afar.
They still remembered how Xun Wu You was chased through the mountains by Gui Qi Zhu.
It wasn't exactly humiliating, but compared to being a "prodigy for all eternity," that performance was ridiculously different, wasn't it?
"A prodigy for all eternity will be a thing of the future, I'm still in the growth phase. Ni Shen Yang is the finished product, he can wait for me ten thousand years, believe it or not, I could blow him to death with a single breath?" Xun Wu You said matter-of-factly.
Everyone was speechless once again.
Hu Die Jun, with an impassive face, said, "Let's change the subject. Everyone's here, how do we fight? We need a plan. Who will contain the three Hunt Venerables? Who will contain Tian Zhi Zhu and the Beast King? Who will contain Geng Ri and Ni Shen Yang?"
The individuals he mentioned were the middle-tier forces of the Hunt Heaven, Tian Zhi Zhu and Beast King were two of the seven branches of the Spirits, their positions were equal to Ni Shen Yang, but their strength was far apart.
The three Hunt Venerables were quite capable, Geng Ri was the Hunt Heaven Sun Officer, his mastery of the arts was also extraordinary.
When the conversation turned serious, the group's faces became solemn.
Yu Li Jing pondered, "The Hunt Heaven might not be deploying all its forces, to put it bluntly, to offend Yu Yin Xian Sheng, the current Lun Xia Xing Dao is not worth Ni Shen Yang going to such lengths for."
Dong Men Xuan De nodded, "It's just the truth, no offense meant. I agree with Yu Master, to destroy the Lun Xia Xing Dao, Ni Shen Yang alone is enough."
If they deployed all their forces, the Hunt Heaven would be undefended, any second or third-rate force could tear apart Ni Shen Yang's lair.
Ni Shen Yang wasn't stupid, he would definitely leave people behind to defend it.
"Then we'll exclude Geng Ri, Tian Zhi Zhu and Beast King! One Ni Shen Yang plus the three Emperor Lineage Venerables, how do we fight them?" Hu Die Jun crossed his arms.
Yu Li Jing looked at Xun Wu You and said, "Xun Wu You, what do you think?"
